Andrade & Funk lead the field after 2 Rounds at the MS Gulf Resort Classic

First-round leader Fred Couples ended day two with a 1-under 71, following a 6-under 66 on Friday. That gives Couples a two-day total of 7-under par. He's now one shot off the pace tied with Jay Haas and Jeff Maggert.

Defending champion Michael Allen shot an even par 72. He's in the clubhouse at 4-under after 36 holes.

Billy Andrade had the Fallen Oak golf course sizzling Saturday with a 7-under 65. He grabbed a share of the lead at 8-under after two rounds.

"I'm ecstatic to be in this position," Andrade said. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and this is why we play to get a chance to win the tournament on Sunday."

Fred Funk had his golf game in high gear, knocking down a birdie on the 7th hole. Funk was 8-under for the tournament after 17 holes and nearly took sole possession of first place, barely missing a birdie attempt on the 18th hole.

"I like coming here because it's a pretty difficult golf course," Funk said. "I like hard golf courses so when you're playing well you try to get a little separation but we're not too separate on the board right now."

Bill Glasson, Mark O'Meara and Duffy Waldorf are two shots off the pass at 6-under. Tom Lehman is in the hunt along with Roger Chapman and John Riegger all at 5-under.
